Motorists and others should expect delays as the City of Fairfield collaborates with Solano County to patch up some bumpy roads near the Air Force base.

Both North Gate and Canon roads are getting a makeover, care of gas tax funds and street crews provided by the county. Fairfield lacked the resources to do the job and coordinated with county officials to get the job done, according to Pat Giles from Public Works.

Chip seal work on the roads will begin on Sept. 11 and run through Sept. 14. Crews will resurface the streets on those days and apply stripes to them on the Sept. 13 and Sept. 14.

Partial road closures and temporary traffic controls will be in effect from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. during construction. A pilot vehicle will lead motorists through the job site at 25 mph, and there will be loose gravel with which to contend.

To access Travis Air Force Base, it might be better to use the main gate or the hospital gate, Giles said.
